[QUOTE="Pauper, post: 6811935, member: 17607"] Except it isn't -- genasi were introduced in Planescape and shoe-horned into the Realms in Third Edition. And as tila notes, pretty much every Fourth Edition change has been reversed by the Sundering, making most things from LFR irrelevant to the current edition. Genasi swordmages with Greenflame blade are GONE. Maybe not forever, but certainly for now. Not a bad pick, especially since Aglarond hasn't had much official development in adventures. Since AL is working more in the western areas of the continent, I might choose the Silver Marches (Luruar), so that I could connect more easily with the actual events of the campaign, but that's a question of personal taste. It's nothing personal. You just don't seem to understand that your 'desired character concept' opens the door to breaking the campaign. In that sense, I'm OK melting a few 'special snowflakes' so that the water of the campaign stays fresh. Excuse me -- allow me to rephrase. You appear to have created this thread to have an excuse to whine about problems that either don't exist, are already being addressed, or exist for a good reason. In that sense, the entire thread is an attempt to 'troll' the AL community, and you're right -- I probably just should have ignored it completely. I'm fine engaging with well-thought-out criticism and commentary -- see your comment on Aglarond above as an example -- but there's precious little of that in your original two posts. Your original argument seems to boil down to 'I want AL to be more like LFR in all the ways that LFR sucked." That's not a great argument. Whoa, I have a WotC flag? Somebody should be paying me for that advertising space! What I learned from this thread: - I have a WotC flag! - Haters gonna hate. - Some people have a very difficult time distinguishing between criticism of their argument and criticism of their self. This is not a problem for the critic. -- Pauper [/QUOTE]
